our lips meet
briefly, before
putting on
th world again
as we open th door
my sturdy coat,
my toughness
still facing th wall
on th coat hanger
when putting on a coat
th warm within of
goodbyes, and
hello! in th hallway,
th imminent distantness
Hi Jeltje - I hope you don't mind - I used some of the lines from this poem in my post today - it's a cento called 'pine' and it uses lines from all the poems posted so far on 8 April. Cheers - Melinda
